Airbrakes

I agree that they weren't able to perform a stall recovery, however I do not think requiring more TT is the solution to the problem.

Since we are hypothetically speaking, why not throw in truck sim also? Believe it or not, truck sims have a huge following.

You can either increase or delete the paging file or close down backround programs you don't need running with flight sim. If you're using a 32bit OS, you're limited to a paging file of 2 gigs. It doesn't matter how much RAM you actually have.

I still watch videos. The ones I watch on the computer aren't in DVD format though. Netflix FTW! And Windows 98 was the 2nd best OS MS made. The best was 95.

Thank you for saying this. :Peace:

The points made about both accidents were points AFTER the stall. My points are BEFORE the stall. For the umpti-billionth time, I don't care what counter measures the crew used. I'm more interested in what caused the stall. I am not a pilot or a expert, nor am I portraying to be one. Do yourself a favor and re-read my statements. If I'm wrong then simply sorrect me and move on. There is no need to throw ratings into the mix. That makes me think less of you.

Are you aware you're preaching to the choir?

Stick pusher activates when the AoA is increased over the AoA that caused the stall alarm to activate. It does not know the difference between a tail and airfoil stall. The Dash-8 is not FBW. It is a conventional setup of pulleys and cables. And just a FYI, a stall (especially a tail stall) can happen at any speed.

I guess the constitution doesn't mean anything to anyone anymore. Might as well 'file' it as it's worthless.

Email sent.

Again, I'm not interested in the recovery method. I'm interested in what led to the stall in the first place. A tail stall and air foil stall are different stalls that require different action. Stick pusher doesn't know the difference. Fatigue and inadequate training was not the cause of the crash. They were a culprit.

Also, in terms of the Colgan crash, I'm more interested in what led to the stall instead of the recovery method. The PIC reconized the tail stall and fought the stick shaker. His action was correct, but it was too little too late.

Thanks, I'm at work now so I'll send the email when I get home.

That was in reference to the Colgan crash, and not AT447. 2 discussions at once does get confusing.

I see the sarcasm went right on by you.

It was a tail stall. Not that easy to recover from when the elevators are iced up.

Closing TPB isn't going to do a darn bit of any good. Something else will replace it. That being said: piracy is stealing no matter how you try to sugar coat it. Not being able to afford a item does NOT give you the 'right' to steal it. I think copyright infrindgement laws are ridicolous anyway and a violation of the 8th amendment. Here's a example: Pirating a Michael Jackson CD = 10 years in prison Killing Michael Jackson = 5 years in prison

Find out when the item was shipped. That makes all the difference in the world. The time the items were ordered is not relevant.

People still use DVD's?????????

A stall wouldn't be a CFIT, that much is correct. BUT, pointing the yoke down and smacking the turf would be a CFIT. It's not the stall recovery methods that should be the object of debate by investigators, rather what led to the stall in the first place. There isn't much you can do to recover from a stall in a Dash-8 at 3,000' AGL besides enjoy the ride. I think both instances can be linked to inadequate training in icing conditions. The ASI would have been no good in either case being that the pitot tubes froze. If AF447 didn't brake apart prior to impact, why is the integrity of the A330's fuselage even in question??? Hitting the water at a wrong angle is just as bad as concrete. If you put Sully in AF447, I don't think he would have done any better than the crew did.

Once you start flying, the air sickness should go away. It's the same thing with motion sickness in a car. You don't feel it when you drive.

That's a weather balloon. Looks just like the balloon that crashed in Rosewell, NM. Yup.

Comparing AF447 to the Colgan crash is like comparing apples to oranges. The Colgan crash happened during approach when the aircraft was near 3,000' AGL. Nosing down at this altitude will invite the inevitable CFIT. There is nothing that crew could have done differently to recover from that stall. AF447 stalled at altitude. They had more time to correct. There is nothing wrong with the structural integrity of the A330. Discrepencies between pilot inputs caused the plane to operate outside of it's flight envelope, and break apart. Any plane would have crumbled under what stresses AF447 went through.

Hello guys, After a long absense from simming, I recently decided to get back into it. I re-purchased this product a little over a week ago and can't get a regristration code to activate the product. I tried using the installer prompts and I also tried sending a email manually, but never got a response. Please help, thanks.

Yeah, it's beyond me how that refrigerator light can stay on like that and not run up my electric bill.
